Lifetime Use of Dental Services and Dental Caries in Adolescents in 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort
The lifetime utilisation of dental services, whether always or occasionally for preventive reasons, was found to be a protective factor for dental caries in adolescence. These findings reinforce the importance of raising awareness among the public regarding the preventive use of dental services. Additionally, there is a need to organise dental services to facilitate the provision of preventive dental care since early childhood.
